Drupal newbie stumped with 2 problems somewhat related to each other.
problem #1
How do I deny access to anonymous users (no account) to any part of the site except for the frontpage or a specific node page (like an instruction page)? If I set the anonymous users permission of node access - access content to disable, anonymous users will only see a 'denied access' page rather than the frontpage which is not what I want.
problem #2
How do I deny access to a group of users (for example authenticated users group) from clicking/seeing a custom navigational menu (for example a files section area)? I would like this menu accessible only to administrators but not to the other user groups.
I would appreciate a friendly nudge to the right direction.

user_access
take a look at user_access function.

Are you a PHP developer? with this, you can restrict access to certain users to areas in a page.
hope this helps on both problems.
solved
tnx jng12@drupal.org
I was hoping for a simple solution. After making sure the core program could not do it. I decided to install the content access module and solved my problem.

You can probably take a look at the modules Content Access and Path Access.

for # 2 You can also extend it by installing menu trails.
